Let us do another sidebar. Since MacPython 2.0 this new structure, with packages
per application and submodules per suite, is used. Older MacPythons had a
single level of modules, with uncertain semantics. With the new structure
it is possible for programs to override standard suites, as programs often do.
It is a good idea to convert your own old programs to the new scheme, but if you
really want the old standard suites are still available in
<code>:Mac:Lib:lib-scripting</code>.

The <a href="applescript/Disk_Copy/Special_Events.py">Special_Events</a>
module is a nice example of a suite module.
